Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

so, per your additional information the "spinner" has 4 possible results : 5, 4, 3 ,2

I guess, they are like the six numbers on a die equally probable.

that means the probabilty to get one of the 4 possible answers is 1/4 (desired outcomes over all possible outcomes).

now, to make the experiment twice and link the results as one desired outcome (like a 5 and a 2, or two 4s, or ...), we can multiply the probabilities as combined events without overlapping.

why ?

similar to a die with 6 possible results, we have here for every one of the 4 possible results of the first spin, we have 4 possible results of the second spin.

so, the probability of one particular set of 2 results is

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

in other words, it is 1/4 to get 5 on the second spin, and 1/4 to get 2 on the second spin. because we want both to happen as one desired result, both events have to happen as combination (and not as "or"). hence the multiplication.

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in comment:

5,4,3,2 = Spinner

Thus, there are 4 possible answer

Given:

If you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin?

1/16

3/16

1/8

1/4

Solve:

Knowing that there only <u>One 5 and One 2 on the spinner.</u>

Thus, in fraction form - 1/4 and 1/4

Probability land on 5 = 1/4

Probability land on 2 = 1/4

Because there are 4 possible solution and one of each is 5,4,3,2

Now, multiply then together:

1/4 × 1/4 = {1 ×1 = 1 and 4 × 4 = 16}

Put Together:

1/16

Hence, the answer is " The Probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin is 1/16

frutty [35]
There is no option of the box plots, so I have created a version that would represent this data.

To make the box plot you will need the lower extreme, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and upper extreme.

Please see the attached picture.

Which expression is equivalent to 3x^-6y^-3/15x^2y^10
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\frac{3x^{-6}y^{-3}}{15x^2y^{10}}

\frac{x^{-6}y^{-3}}{5x^2y^{10}}

\frac{x^{-6-2}y^{-3-10}}{5}            [\because \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}]

\frac{x^{-8}y^{-13}}{5}

\frac{1}{5x^{8}y^{13}}            [\because a^{-n}}=\frac{1}{a^n}]

Therefore the correct option is 2.
